The Catholic monks of Saint Joseph Abbey in St. Benedict, Louisiana, are being legally threatened by the government. Why? Because the liberty-hating political class demands that you and I get “permission” from government to make money.

Those wacky monks must have thought that this was a free country or something.

Of course, as soon as government has the power to demand you get permission from the State (some call that permission a “license”), you gotta do business in the manner that they dictate, and through the channels that they demand, and you pay the fees that they say you pay.
